<p>Hey guys, I'm so curious</p>
<p>there are so many my friends who got a rejection letter. It's so sad.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, there are some people who got an admissions from both UC and USC.</p>
<p>What if they go to UC, withdraw USC? What about their spot?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that many students such as wanting to go to UCB or UCLA</p>
<p>might withdraw USC admission. Does USC offer some spots to students who submit appeal letter?</p>
<p>Colleges purposely admit more than the number of their open spots because they predict the rate of matriculation for each year. That is because admissions know that some people will decide to not attend or choose another college instead. This year, over 9,000 were admitted for an estimated class of only 2,600 students. So there is the answer to your question.</p>
<p>If you look at the freshman profile from last year, you will see a yield of 33% meaning that 1/3 (3,021) of the 9,187 students admitted actually chose to attend USC. Colleges purposely account for this in admissions by admitting a larger than number amount of students expected to fill the incoming class. Yes, some appeals are accepted but that number is tiny and nearly negligible compared to the size of the incoming class.</p>
